Which ground handlers at MHTE do you work with?

We remain handler-agnostic at Tela. Provide us with the details of whichever handler is managing your aircraft and we coordinate delivery directly with them, ensuring catering is planeside at your confirmed uplift time.

Can you source fresh local Caribbean seafood for a flight departing from Tela?

Yes. The northern Honduran coast offers excellent shrimp, lobster and snapper. Subject to lead time and your departure window, our sourcing team can integrate locally caught seafood into your menu build.

Is Kosher catering available at Tela?

Kosher meals can be arranged with a minimum 24-hour lead time. Please specify this requirement at the point of enquiry so we can confirm the appropriate certified supply route from our network.

Do you cater crew meals separately from passenger menus?

Always. Crew meals are planned and portioned independently, with balanced, practical options suited to operational schedules. They are packaged separately and labelled clearly in the delivery.

How do you manage delivery given the runway limitations at TEA?

The runway at Tela accommodates lighter aircraft, so our loadouts are sized for smaller galley configurations — compact packaging, correct portion weights and spill-proof formats suited to the cabin types that operate here.

Can orders be placed for nearby airports such as La Ceiba or San Pedro Sula through the same contact?

Yes. Your single point of contact at Altitude Dining can manage catering across multiple Honduran airports — including La Ceiba (LCE) and San Pedro Sula (SAP) — within the same trip itinerary.

Private jet catering in Tela

Tela sits at near sea level on the Bay of Honduras, where the Caribbean meets dense lowland jungle and banana-plantation country that has shaped this coastline's larder for over a century. Pineapples, plantains, coconut, fresh-caught snapper and tiger prawns form the backbone of a regional pantry that is vivid, aromatic and entirely its own. San Pedro Sula and La Ceiba, each roughly an hour away by road, extend that supply chain further — giving our sourcing team access to urban market hubs, specialty suppliers and cold-chain distributors capable of moving produce rapidly to meet even same-day build windows.

Regional Catering Menu · Tela

Fresh catering for Tela flights

Honduras's northern coast is shrimp and lobster country. The Caribbean influence is clear in preparations that lean on coconut milk, recado spice, coriander and scotch bonnet, while the region's Garífuna heritage introduces smoked fish, cassava flatbreads and slow-braised meats that travel exceptionally well at altitude. Our culinary team translates these local signatures into cabin-ready formats: canapés built on plantain crisps, chilled seafood composed in spill-proof domes, slow-cooked pollo con tajadas portioned into heated galley trays. Altitude Dining also provides crew meals that reflect the same care — not an afterthought, but a separate, considered menu in its own right.
